66 NATIONAL PÄNUI - Here-Turi-Kökä / AUGUST 2023
APPLICATION NO...
Unlocking finance is an important part of facilitating the occupation, development, and utilisation of whenua Māori for the benefit of owners, their whānau, and their hapū and this practice note is another step on the road to realising this vision.
However, it was in major conflict with the traditional ways of land occupation and guardianship for tangata whenua. In 1993, the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act was introduced with the purpose of preventing the loss of any more Māori land – which currently makes up approximately 6% of all land in Aotearoa New Zealand.
In Ellis
v R [2020] NZSC 89, submissions were sought on the application of tikanga on the question of whether the Court has
jurisdiction to hear an appeal against conviction after the death of the appellant.
Since the passing of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, our role is to:
promote the retention of Māori land in the hands of its owners, whānau and hapū
facilitate the occupation, development and use of Māori land
ensure that decisions made about Māori land are fair and balanced taking into account the needs of all the owners and their beneficiaries.
We have a checkbox on our applications that you can select to let us know. All types of succession applications can be simple and uncontested, provided they meet the above requirements.
